Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle the salt and pepper on the meat, mix . ( either marinate overnight or put into heavy bottom pot.

Add butter and olive oil to the meat.

Cook in medium heat for about 10-15 minutes ( just to get it started),

Stir once and then cook on very low heat for 2-3 hours

** do not open the pot for the first hour because the meat has to cook in its own juices and steam. If you open the pot often you will lose the steam and the meat might burn.

During the last 30 minutes ( or when the meat is cooked already) take the lid off and allow to meat chunks to slowly brown. Add more butter if needed

When the meat is browned, you can tease it with a fork resulting in strings of roasted meat which will look like pulled pork ( well this is not pork so leave something to the imagination:)

Serve with rice and yogurt dip
